Computing the dynamics of biomembranes by combining conservative level set and adaptive finite element methods
The numerical simulation of the deformation of vesicle membranes under simple shear external fluid flow is considered in this paper. A new saddle-point approach is proposed for the imposition of the fluid incompressibility and the membrane inextensibility constraints, through Lagrange multipliers defined in the fluid and on the membrane respectively. Using a level set formulation, the problem i...
متن کاملFully implicit methodology for the dynamics of biomembranes and capillary interfaces by combining the level set and Newton methods
This framework is concerned with the numerical modeling of the dynamics of isolated biomembranes and capillary interfaces in a surrounding Newtonian fluid. A level set approach helps to follow the interface motion. Our method features the use of high order fully implicit time integration schemes that enable to overcome stability issues related to the explicit discretization of the highly non-li...
متن کاملFinite element approximation for the dynamics of asymmetric fluidic biomembranes
We present a parametric finite element approximation of a fluidic membrane, whose evolution is governed by a surface Navier–Stokes equation coupled to bulk Navier–Stokes equations. The elastic properties of the membrane are modelled with the help of curvature energies of Willmore and Helfrich type. Forces stemming from these energies act on the surface fluid, together with a forcing from the bu...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Premixed Combustion Combining Level Set with Extended Finite Element Methods
TheG-function approach to premixed combustion problems is based on the flamelet concept. Thereby, the flame front is modeled as an embedded interface within the bulk. A level set function is used to describe the position of the flame front. To account for discontinuities in the velocity and the pressure fields across the interface, an eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is applied. That is, t...
متن کاملAdaptive Finite Element Methods
In the numerical solution of practical problems of physics or engineering such as, e.g., computational fluid dynamics, elasticity, or semiconductor device simulation one often encounters the difficulty that the overall accuracy of the numerical approximation is deteriorated by local singularities such as, e.g., singularities arising from re-entrant corners , interior or boundary layers, or shar...
